Gerald runs down the stairs |
| Description: |
Light, bell-like music for a child running down the stairs; playful and gentle, with rapid downward gestures; the music slows slightly as he nears the bottom of the staircase |

[m. 44] celeste, piano, W.W., [illegible], str / viol tr / harp; [m. 46] 2nd harp; [m. 47] 1st harp arp down |
| Analysis: |
Moving through the keys of D and F# without cadencing, the cue becomes more dissonant (with linear chromatic harmonies) as Gerald's mother stops him from running |
